You were wishing you had some whisky choices matching your advanced age, so here are some to dream about [and may find in Mikey's garage the next time you are out this way]. One from your birth year, and one that was matured as long as you have been Nom Nom Nom. Have a great one and go find some old whisky! Cheers!

**BRENT** P.S. TSIF!

Al, hope you have a great day today and wish I could be out there to celebrate with you.

Every now and then I receive emails where people want free review samples or some stupid shit like that. Now then this gem showed up today: I just like the blatant offer to offer promotion and clearly a glowing review for a measly 45% discount... My reply is below... Kevin told me not to be too harsh... I think it went ok.

A month ago I visited with a new doctor. Went in for a sore arm but he saw fit to comment on my weight, ordered blood work and wanted to prescribe medication to control my blood pressure and reduce my cholesterol. Had my usual fight to find out and discuss my other options. WE finally agreed that I would reduce my weight and come back in July for a complete physical and discuss further at that time. At 300# I have a bit of tail I can stand to lose. Sadly, I've not had much trouble losing weight, but I've found it damn near impossible to keep it off. I went home and went into research mode. Came across a diet spawned from a study by the NIH (National Institute of…

Apparently 2 bombs have exploded near the finish line, 12+ bystanders injured (including loss of limbs)..... Holy crap.....

I clicked on a link in a google search and found that I can now access the head-fi page after about a 4 month IP ban. It makes me want to create a new account a reek some more high-jinx.

Now we understand why Boomana wanted to get Grawk as a bodyguard!

I see that Dr Wood's birthday comes right after mine. Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday John!

Happy Birthday Al! Have a great birthday with your family and cocktails!

Happy Birthday man!!!!!

Happy Birthday Doug!

I've spent the last 3 days boarding up peoples homes and condos on this island. I don't really like that kind of work, but many of my customers don't know where else to turn. Most of my customers are in the very wealthy bracket, and I like to keep them happy. I just finished boarding up my own place 15 minutes ago, it's been a very long day. I have three more houses (mansions) to board up tomorrow, and then tomorrow night I'm hitting the road. Unless of coarse the storm (Ike) has moved significantly north by then. I have the motorhome loaded with groceries and fuel, and I have a reservation at a park in San Antonio. I should have internet access there, so I should p…

Happy B-Day, my good man. **BRENT**

Have a great one guys!

So no one told me about this forum it seems anyways! I'm a noob here, and I'll participate in discussions, contribute and so forth! Nice to meet you all! (again)!

This really confuses me. When inane posts (perceived differently by any given reader) are cleaned up and mods step in to control the quality of posts, or kick out idiots (again, alledged differently by each reader) we are called the Nazi Police, or are blamed for "over-moderation". Everyone needs different things from a forum and sometimes, no matter what direction moderation goes in, it can be considered poor management by anyone at any given time. Moderators can only try to do what they think are right and aren't going to please everyone, all of the time. And consistency, can be tough. Hell, even our government and major corporations that have been around 50+ years, sti…

This is Zachary's Amp. And this is Zachary (with his dad Kristopher). Zachary was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) on March 23, 2007. This is a relatively rare form of cancer, affecting around 4000 Americans each year. Zachary and his family have been battling this disease for almost 4 years and it has taken a physical, mental and financial toll on the family. So how do I fit into this equation? I've known Zach's dad for something like 8 to 10 years, he works for one of my former company's biggest clients and while working together on a few projects we discovered that we shared a lot of common interests. We ended up being members …

So I picked up a Pre last Friday and I've been using it pretty heavily since then. The screen is very nice, on par with the iPhone's I'd say (the iphones being a glass touchscreen does get the edge in scratch resistance). The interface is really intuitive and done very well. The little "gesture" area below the screen fits in with the overall interface quite well and it works flawlessly. It's also hard to overstate how nice it is to finally have true multi-tasking on a smartphone. I often find myself having the Pandora app streaming in the background while texting or sending e-mails. Of course there is also the keyboard to talk about, I'm one of those people that r…

Happy birthday Dan! I hope you enjoy some fine noodles and fine tunes on your big day! Cheers!

IMO it's about fucking time! Now the push to allow gay men to be Scout leaders. My viewpoint is no surprise, I'm sure. How do you feel about this? I will keep an open mind, I promise.

Vicky Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day filled with puppies, great music and a stellar bike ride.

Let the river dance commence!

Happy birthday Mike! All the best from Scotland
